Chapter 182 Jia Cong's Care
After a few more words, it was estimated that the old lady had not slept well last night, so Jia Cong immediately ordered someone to hire a carriage to send the old lady, Xing, Wang and others back.
As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw Xiao Que'er just entered the house.
"Second Madam, this is what Xiao Que'er got for you from the kitchen. It's called Red Dates and Bird's Nest Soup. Sister-in-law Qin said it's perfect for your current injury. You'll definitely feel better after eating it!" Jia Cong walked into the room and heard Xiao Que'er presenting a treasure to Wang Xifeng.
Jia Cong smiled and sat forward. "Well, our little Que'er did the best job today. When the second sister-in-law gets better, let her reward you greatly!"
"Where's Ping'er?"
Wang Xifeng's expression darkened, "Ping'er also stayed up all night last night. Before you came here, Yuanyang had just taken her to the hut to sleep for a while!"
The master and servant had a very good relationship, like sisters who ate and slept together since childhood. However, Wang Xifeng was also unreasonable and could not control her temper. She regretted beating Ping'er yesterday, and felt even more guilty when she thought about Ping'er throwing .
As I thought about it, tears started to flow again.
"Brother Cong, do you think Ping'er will bear a grudge against me?"
Jia Cong pulled out a handkerchief from the bedside and wiped away Wang Xifeng's tears. "Second sister-in-law, why are you doing this? It was Second Brother and that bitch who were talking nonsense yesterday. Are you blaming Ping'er? However, Sister Ping'er has always been loyal. How could she be alienated from Second sister-in-law because of such a small matter?"
"If Second Sister-in-law is worried, wait until Ping'er wakes up and apologize sincerely! Although you are master and servant, you are like sisters. How could Ping'er not know your temper?"
As he said that, he took out a small bowl from the food box, scooped a spoonful and fed it to Fengjie!
Wang Xifeng subconsciously opened her mouth and started eating, then her cheeks turned red. Her originally sharp eyes now fell gently on Jia Cong. Jia Cong also fed , and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief!
"Second sister-in-law, just stay in the East Mansion for the next few days. If Second Brother Lian wants to come and apologize, Second sister-in-law will forgive you. If not, I will help you vent your anger!"
"And don't worry about the injury. The imperial physician is watching over you all day, and it will heal in a few days! I also have the best ointment given by His Majesty. When the bleeding stops in two days, let Ping'er apply it on you. There won't even be a scar left!"
Seeing Jia Cong carefully tucking in the corners of the quilt for her and comforting her one sentence after another, Wang Xifeng burst into tears again for some unknown reason.
"Hello, ladies!"
Just then, the maid's voice came from outside the door!
"I think the sisters are worried and have come to see the second sister-in-law. I'll go out to greet her!"
As soon as Jia Cong walked out of the door, he saw Li Wan, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun and the three sisters coming together.
"Third brother, where is second sister-in-law?" Daiyu asked with a worried look on her face.
"She's in the room. Don't worry. The imperial physician has checked her. She just ate something. She's fine. You go in and talk to your second sister-in-law."
Everyone hurried into the room. When they saw the usually majestic Wang Xifeng turned into this state, and thought about how their second sister-in-law had taken care of them in the past, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Second sister-in-law, you have to get better soon. We are waiting for you to play with us!" Daiyu said with tears in her eyes.
The other sisters also spoke with concern.
"Ah, it's true that there are differences in closeness. My hand was injured yesterday. Now everyone cares about my second sister-in-law, and no one cares about me as a brother."
"Ah..." Everyone really didn't know what was going on. They looked at Jia Cong in surprise and worry.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, if you keep crying like this, how can my second sister-in-law get better? You should say something happy! I just got a slight scratch on my hand. If the old lady hadn't been worried and insisted on bandaging it, it would have healed by now. My second sister-in-law is also fine. In order to treat my second sister-in-law's injury, the imperial physician used up all my good medicine. Even if I have to cry, it should be me, okay?"
When everyone saw that Jia Cong was indeed fine, they all felt relieved.
"You have been competitive all day long, but now you are honest?" Li Wan said distressedly while holding Wang Xifeng's hand. The other sisters didn't know, but she was the only one who knew about Wang Xifeng's child. As a mother, she could naturally understand Wang Xifeng's mood at the moment, so she felt even more distressed.
"Since you're injured, don't worry about other things. Just stay here and take care of yourself for a few days."
Wang Xifeng nodded with tears in her eyes!
Yushi, Keqing and Ping'er, who were sleeping in the small house, woke up when they heard the noise and rushed over!
Seeing Ping'er, Wang Xifeng struggled to get up and apologize to Ping'er. Ping'er knelt in front of the couch and hugged Wang Xifeng, crying, "Second Madam!"
Wang Xifeng also cried loudly!
The master and servant cried for a long time. Jia Cong stepped forward and pulled Ping'er up. "You two are the same. You usually get angry and beat each other, but you feel sorry for each other afterwards. Why do you have to do this? You are the closest to each other, even closer than sisters. If you do this, won't it hurt your relationship? Now that the second sister-in-law is injured, when she recovers, let her host Ping'er to apologize. Then the matter will be over. No one is allowed to mention it again."
Finally, everyone was persuaded to stop talking, and they started talking about some happy things, and the atmosphere became lively again.
"Brother Cong, why don't you send me back to the West Mansion? After all, the West Mansion has so many things to do that it needs to be taken care of by someone," Wang Xifeng said softly to Jia Cong.
Although the old lady agreed, it is really difficult for a sister-in-law to live in her brother-in-law's house.
"Why? Is my second sister-in-law the only one in our family who can do this?" Jia Cong said helplessly, "The old lady has agreed. My second sister-in-law will live here. When she is well again, she can go back!"
After a brief thought, Jia Cong turned around and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu, Third Sister, the old lady is old, and the two ladies may not take care of things for a long time. You don't have to stay here with her, go over and help for a few days!"
"Qingwen, let Xia Zhong come over!"
This Xia Zhong is the leader among the eunuchs, and he is Xia Shouzhong’s godson!
Soon, Xia Zhong came in, "Your servant greets the Marquis!"
"Choose five maids and five eunuchs, and go to the West Mansion with Sister-in-law Zhu and Third Sister today. In the next few days, you must follow their instructions!"
"I obey your command and will select the person right away!"
The royal family does have means. Although these people are the lowest-ranking eunuchs and maids , they are first-class in terms of eyesight and means. Even in a family as big as the Jia Mansion, I am afraid that only the top maids can compare with them. If it were not for the overstepping, Jia Cong would have wanted to get a few of them to manage things in the mansion, which would definitely save him a lot of trouble.
"Okay!" Tanchun nodded. "My eldest sister-in-law and I will stay here with my second sister-in-law for half a day, and then we will go back in the afternoon."
Li Wan has a wooden personality, so she is naturally not suitable to be a housekeeper. However, Tanchun's personality is extremely suitable. Moreover, although it is her first time, she is not timid because she has the manpower provided by Jia Cong.
